| 2 | /* Capsule objects let you wrap a C "void *" pointer in a Python |
| 3 | object. They're a way of passing data through the Python interpreter |
| 4 | without creating your own custom type. |

Benjamin Peterson | b173f78 | 2009-05-05 22:31:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6 | Capsules are used for communication between extension modules. |
| 7 | They provide a way for an extension module to export a C interface |
| 8 | to other extension modules, so that extension modules can use the |
| 9 | Python import mechanism to link to one another. |
